Individuality And Creativity In My Writing
Retrogress ten years from today I see my seven year old self sitting at the wooden dining room table in front of filling page, pencil in my right hand and yellow crayon in my left hand. Eager and ecstatic my right hand writes faster than my mind can think; seconds later my left hand colors in doodles as I gave rest to the rhetoric. (Semicolon) What could a seven year old boy be so happy about writing about though? Well, Spongebob of course.
Growing up I was an avid viewer of Spongebob which ultimately led to my Nebo sensation and the derivation of The Adventures of Spongebob - written and drawn by Grant Wallace. (Nebo allusion-inventor of writing) Unknowingly at the time, these stories are now what I base my relationship of writing off of: the freedom to be creative, the ability to express thoughts possibly inhibited with speech and the non transitory memories writing entails.(Colon)

This sense of individuality and creativity emanates in my syntax to allow me to stand alone in ways no other part of life could. Individuality is especially vital in times such as now when college admission counselors rummage through the copious amounts of applications. When these counselors scavenge through the cliche questions regarding grade points and test scores, there are hundreds of people who look just as I do. No individuality is displayed until the essays are read which is where the true probity of me can supersede the competing

    Narrative Rough Draft

    I never used to write. In fact, I didn’t much like it. Little did I know that writing would become obsolete and a physiological requirement for the well being of my life. From an early age on all I did was read. I grew up in an isolated environment where books were my escape, and escape was necessary from the hardships of home. I remember being a young seven-year-old boy wearing a pillowcase around my neck fastened with a pen. I was eating animal crackers at the time, and my step dad was calling out for me. I stood up from my crouched position and raised my hand as I learned from pre-school, and said, “ I’m here daddy.” At that moment my step father grabbed me by the cape harshly compressing my trachea purposefully, shaking me back and forth with his hands around my neck as I began to choke on the appetizing cracker animal crumbs within the back of my throat. I didn’t understand at the time what was really going on. My mother came out of the room and my dad acted as if nothing happened and told me to…

    Towards the beginning of English 110, I wanted to improve upon several issues within my writing style. These issues included the frustration of attempting to improve upon my inability to write a coherent sentence after experiencing intense feelings of irritation and boredom. The other problem involved my inability to create seamlessly flowing paragraphs from one to the next. My goal was to improve my writing abilities by practicing and learning to expunge those mistakes and become a caring writer for the papers I had to write. I have met some of these goals with relative success.…

    When asked in class every year which subject I admired the most, my answer was always “none”. Although the grades in my core curriculum classes were always excellent, I never found interest in the basic subjects. Math was a bunch of numbers with letters, science just reviewed our bodies and the how the world was believed to be through one scientist theories and history repeated itself, constantly. As a freshman, I contemplated tremendously over what major and career I would pursue for the rest of my life. I never knew there were more subjects than just science, English, math and history until the day my mother introduced me to unraveling my creativity in the summer.…

    An argument presented by “Walter Ong” is a never ending debate on how writing can “restructure human consciousness”. There are many arguments that convey both pros and cons in regards to this argument. I mainly agree with Ong's thesis statement which is; writing has destroyed our memory and increased our consciousness in various ways; also writing itself has interpreted our lives as technology (Ong 77). There have been many technologized systems, software, and etc, which have made our everyday life easier, but also made less work for the mind to be active. “More than any other single invention, writing has performed human consciousness” (Ong 77).…

    My Growth As A Writer

    Writing has seemed to be a difficult process for me over the years. This is why it was my choice to enroll myself in creative writing classes over the last 6 years. The most difficult process for me in writing is generating ideas. You can learn to use proper structures for sentences but sadly creativity is something you can learn. In my play, The Doctor and the Patient, I displayed my best writing, and it gives a good example of what I have learned in this class. “THE PATIENT: Look, man—we’re all different. Each individual can’t be typed into a group. All minds—souls, even—are different. But we all have something in common: we’re human. And it’s beautiful.” Is an allegory, often used in poetry. Due to the depressed nature of the patient, he finds something that can bring light into his world. Though he is stubborn, and rejects medicating and therapy sessions, he finds a false sense of security.…

    When it comes to writing, I become seriously stressed. I will put off all writing as long as I can. I can become physically sick from the amount of destress that essays, journals, and letters cause me. Since I put these assignments off for so long, they usually end up sloppy and not proofread. Taking this class was in hopes of remedying that as well as helping me to become a better writer. While I have learned a few things about writing from this class, like narrative line and that commas need to go before connector words in order to connect independent clauses, I do not feel any better about writing. As I put these words into my word processor, I feel sick and have put this off for too long. My writing process has not become any less stressful.…

    Writing is a crucial skill that most people take for granted. Imagine life without writing. If we did not document our thoughts and ideas, there wouldn’t be ideas being passed down from generation-to-generation. Therefore, writing is crucial to man-kind. Without writing we wouldn’t have documents to refer to and learn from. Writing helps us as individuals to grow and understand our surroundings.…

    We laymen have always been intensely curious to know like the Cardinal who put a similar question to Ariosto - from what sources that strange being, the creative writer, draws his material, and how he manages to make such an impression on us with it and to arouse in us emotions of which, perhaps, we had not even thought ourselves capable. Our interest is only heightened the more by the fact that, if we ask him, the writer himself gives us no explanation, or none that is satisfactory; and it is not at all weakened by our knowledge that not even the clearest insight into the determinants of his choice of material and into the nature of the art of creating imaginative form will ever help to make creative writers of us. If we could at least discover in ourselves or in people like ourselves an activity which was in some way akin to creative writing! An examination of it would then give us a hope of obtaining the beginnings of an explanation of the creative work of writers. And, indeed, there is some prospect of this being possible. After all, creative writers themselves like to lessen the distance between their kind and the common run of humanity; they so often assure us that every man is a poet at heart and that the last poet will not perish till the last man does. Should we not look for the first traces of imaginative activity as early as in childhood The child’s best-loved and most intense occupation is with his play or games. Might we not say that every child at play behaves like a creative writer, in that he creates a world of his own, or, rather, re-arranges the things of his world in a new way which pleases him? It would be wrong to think he does not take that world seriously; on the contrary, he takes his play very seriously and he expends large amounts of emotion on it. The opposite of play is not what is serious but what is real. In spite of all…
